“…Esophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extraluminal (1,2). Intraluminal obstruction or "choke" is the most common abnormality and usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or esophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the esophagus (3)(4)(5). Rare cases of extraluminal obstruction occur when pressure is exerted on the esophagus by the neighboring organs, tissues, or space-occupying lesions (6).…”

The purposes of this study were to report the types, causes, and clinical findings of esophageal obstructions in water buffaloes and to verify the role of radiography in diagnosis as well as the evaluation of the proposed treatment management and outcome after treatment. Forty-four buffaloes with esophageal obstruction were used in the study. Esophageal obstruction was significantly more frequent in females than males. Buffaloes at 1-3 years of age were significantly more liable to the disease than those of other ages. Complete obstruction was more frequent than partial obstruction. Intraluminal obstruction was more prevalent than extraluminal. Obstruction at the cervical portion was more frequent than those at pharyngeal region and cardia. Radiography was confirmative in 41 buffaloes (93%). Manipulative treatment was successful in 6 buffaloes (13%) and surgical intervention for cervical esophageal obstructions was carried out by exposure of the cervical esophagus (n = 3), cervical esophagatomy (n = 25), or surgical correction of periesophageal cellulitis (n = 2), while surgical treatment of thoracic esophageal obstruction was carried out via laparorumenotomy (n = 8). In conclusion, early diagnosis, proper application of manipulative or surgical interventions, and postoperative follow-up are the fundamental factors for successful outcomes of esophageal obstruction in water buffaloes.

The present clinical study reports the surgical management of oesophageal obstruction in 4 buffaloes which were presented to the department of surgery and radiology, from 2018 to 2022 with the symptoms of salivation, intermittent regurgitation and inability of the animal to swallow feed and water. Diagnosis of oesophageal obstruction was by physical examination and passage of probang and further it was confirmed with help of radiography. Surgery revealed that the cause of obstruction was a rexine / leather material respectively. After the surgical repair, the animals recovered without any complications.

Dermatological disease condition may promote the animal to licking and grooming which predisposing animals to trichobezoar formation (Gangwar et al, 2013) [2] .

Choke or esophageal foreign body obstruction is common condition in cow due to indiscriminate feeding habits. The most common site of obstruction is caudal cervical esophagus. A 7 year old, crossbred cow was presented with a history of sudden onset of ptyalism, bloated abdomen, respiratory distress, restlessness and swollen caudo-ventral cervical part. Physical examination of cervical region revealed partially movable, two round hard masses. Survey radiography showed two spherical (ball) like structures (6.83⁎6.11cm) at the level of C3-C4 and C5-C6 verterbral junction with an outer radiopaque wall and inner radiolucent part. The manual method of pushing foreign body into abdomen using probang and removal through oral cavity was failed due to complete intraluminal obstruction. Left cervical esophagotomy was performed and two trichobezoars (balls) were retrieved. This surgery proved excellent resolution of clinical signs.
